5L Cold Pressed Virgin Grape Seed Oil - Multi-Purpose Use
Product description
100% Pure | Cold-Pressed | Unrefined
The Raw Truth About Virgin Grape Seed Oil At African Oils, we believe in the power of plants in their most natural state. Our Virgin Grape Seed Oil is a far cry from the clear, odorless, highly-processed oils found on mass-market shelves. This is a "living" oil—raw, nutrient-dense, and completely unstripped.
The Sensory Profile (What to Expect)
Because this oil is cold-pressed and never chemically refined or bleached, it carries the intense characteristics of the vineyard:
- The Colour: A deep, vibrant forest green. This is a sign of high chlorophyll and antioxidant content that hasn't been destroyed by heat.
- The Scent: It has a strong, distinct aroma. Expect a sophisticated, sharp scent—reminiscent of balsamic vinegar and aged wine. This "tangy" smell is the natural fingerprint of unrefined grape seeds and is your proof that the oil is packed with active polyphenols.
Multi-Purpose Use
1. For Cosmetics & Skin Therapy
While refined oils lose their potency, our virgin oil retains the "active" components that make grape seed a skincare favorite. It is exceptionally high in Linoleic Acid, making it a "dry" oil that balances oily skin without clogging pores.
- The Glow Factor: Use it as a nighttime serum to deliver antioxidants 20x more potent than Vitamin E directly to the skin.
2. For Artisan Soap Making
African Oils Virgin Grape Seed Oil is a prized "luxury additive" for cold-process and hot-process soap.
- The Lather: It contributes to a silky, conditioning feel and helps produce a stable, creamy lather.
- The "Superfat" Advantage: We recommend adding this oil at "trace" as a superfatting agent. This ensures that the raw vitamins and skin-loving properties survive the soap-making process.
- Note for Makers: Due to its natural green tint, this oil may subtly influence the final color of your soap bars, adding to their rustic, organic appeal.
Usage Tips:
- Skin: Warm 2–3 drops in your palms and press into damp skin. The natural balsamic scent will dissipate as the oil absorbs.
- Soap: Recommended usage rate is 5–10%. Using it at higher percentages may shorten the shelf life of your bar due to its high nutrient content.
